    There is something about the innocence of dogs which really makes me want to defend them. I think it's because they offer unrequited love to anyone who is nice to them.

    I'm going slightly off topic here but did you ever see that ad for homeless dogs? I think it has a dog "talking" to you. "I've been a good dog. I don't wanna die" kind of stuff. Heartbreaking. I could watch a hundred of those ads for Concern and Trocaire but they wouldn't have the same effect on me as one of those ads for dogs that are going to be put down.


    Now, back to the topic...

    The last episode of Band of Brothers. Such an amazing show throughout. And a fantastic happy ending.
    The Allied forces won. The Nazi's lost :p

    I was sure this thread was "What makes you get Terry emotional?". Now that would have been a great thread.

    I used to go out with a girl like you... :p

    It used to be very embarrassing in restaurants when she'd be sitting there crying (for no reason) and everyone would be looking at me thinking what a prick...

    Things that make me teary in a sad way - animals (especially dogs) and old people sad/hurt.

    Things that make me teary in a good way - animals (especially dogs) and old people happy.

    My weaknesses are dogs and old people obviously. Actually got teary today when I saw an old man sitting on a bench talking to his dog, happy out. I'm getting teary even now thinking about it...the cute bastids.

    My bank statement.

    F**k Ian Curtis btw.

    Joy Division is a load of miserable sh1te. New Order were fantastic. Just a load of tools on the "he died to young" bandwagon. He did die too young, but his passing was certainly no loss to the music industry.

    Cruelty to animals makes me more angry than tery eyed tbh.

    Now I did have tears i mo shuile when City beat United at Old Trafford for the first time in over 30 years back in February. That was an emotional night, especially considering the slating our fans got in the build up to the game.

    Getting deducted 6 points, fighting to the bitter end, winning your final match only to be relegated, getting to the cup final only to be beaten, standing in the p!ssing rain and wind watching, for the last time, your team who will all be gone come next season :(
    But we move on in hope of better times.

    Time for uplifting song to mark this poignant moment:)

    I've been in a corporate box at Eastlands. What made me teary was the fact that fridge was full of bloody Fosters and nothing else. Sure it was free but I had thought that a more refined tipple was on the cards.

    It was Man City v Norwich the last season there before Norwich got relegated.

    Ha ha, yep been in those situations! Although I'm more likely to be happy emotional than sad!

    Other things that really make me teary are watching marathon runners finish a race and quite bizzarely when other drivers thank you with their hazards....

    Old people eating on their own in a restaurant or pub always gets me. They could be completely happy and have loads of people around them at home but i always think that they're on their own in life otherwise they wouldn't be eating alone. Makes me well up everytime :(

    Any form of animal cruelty. Thinking of it upsets me, seeing it would have me in an awful state! :(

    They're probably alone in the pub because they're sick of everyone at home.

    Dogs dying.
    Somehow much sadder than people dying. It's their innocence and friendlyness. Gets me every time.

    Don't give a crap about cats though.
